Hello, HBD to me 9/30/14

I drew a banana today as a reminder to make healthier food choices.  I admit that I didn't choose too many healthy food choices today.  Today I turn 40 which has nothing to do with it.  I feel so great today.  I didn't eat as much as I thought I did.  As a matter of fact, I consumed much less food than I thought I did.

Here is what I ate today:

Breakfast
Boost shake

Lunch
Chili
Toast with butter

Dinner
1/2 Stuffed pepper
Yellow rice
Roasted potatoes and carrots

Snack 1
Birthday cake and ice cream

Menu and musings 9/29/14

Here is what I actually consumed today:
Breakfast
Toast and Jelly

Lunch
Toast with margarine
Chili

Dinner
Toast with margarine
Chili

Lately, I admit that I don't always follow the proposed menu.  I guess that is why it is called proposed.  However, the chili was filling and made with vegetables, chicken, lean beef, and beans. Hopefully all of those healthy ingredients didn't make for an unhealthy chili.  However, the bread wasn't wheat but white and I consumed too much margarine.  So no, my diet is completely healthy. However, considering this is me, I ate in moderation.  What am I waiting for?

9/28/14 Menu and Musing

Here is what I ate today:

Breakfast
Boost Shake

Lunch
Macaroni and cheese
Chicken Breasts

Dinner
Honey and Cinnamon Oatmeal


I should consume a snack today as well, but because I consumed such a large bowl of oatmeal, there is probably no need.  From the menu, I should have consumed more fruits and vegetables.  After all, there are some green beans, tomatoes, and peaches in the house.  I am a diabetic and I have to be careful of what I consume.  On the other hand, I didn't consume anything that was fried or too fattening so I don't feel bad about that.  There is no guilt other that what I realize I should have done today.

Today's musing

I have consumed too much of the wrong things and not enough of the right things.  I need to realize this because I am a diabetic.  I don't feel horrible right now, but I do have to keep that in mind.  I consumed nearly 2400 calories today.  That is something I don't take pride in.

No guilt here

I have no reason to feel guilty today.  However, I consumed more pasta than fruits.  I did consume peaches which are fruits of course.  I also consumed whole wheat pasta which isn't so bad.  I consumed about 1600 + calories today.  I feel pretty good about today however.

I am okay 9/25/14

I took the time to eat healthier today.  However, even too much of healthy foods and healthy ingredients is not a good thing.  I am however okay with consuming less than 1800 calories today.  I don't feel guilty about what I ate though.

Musing for 9/24/14

I admit that I have gotten lazy in the last few days so I guess it will be a longer musing for my entry today.  I also admit that sweet drinks and any kind of snacks are my weakness.  It is also true for crackers.  I want to lose the weight and thankfully enough, I have.  I feel so much better about myself because the amount I weigh right now is less than 300 lbs.  I feel pretty good about weighing less than 300 lbs.  I am out of that mark and while I consume food for 1-2lb. per week.  I am proud of myself.  I do need help so that I won't overeat.  I have spent more time consuming fruits, vegetables, and wheat and grains and that is a good thing.  However, I really need to change my diet if I am to lose weight and also to keep it off.
